Just a note to say “thank you” for the confidence and trust you have placed in the two of us to continue as Resident Superior Court Judges for the next term beginning December, 2018. We have enjoyed our time on the Superior Court bench and wish to continue as long as possible.

The Adult Drug Court has continued to serve those individuals who have faced challenges in the opioid crisis and has held 19 graduations in the last eight years. The recidivism rate is well below the national average of 30 percent with its rate of return to the criminal justice system at a low of 14 percent. The Adult Drug Court has graduated 92 graduates since July 31, 2009.

Veteran Treatment Court (VTC) was formally established in July, 2015 and since then has celebrated four graduations with a total of eight graduates. These veteran clients have continued to be law abiding citizens since the completion of the five phases ofVTC with zero recidivism.

We will continue to do the best we can to provide judicial efficiency, fairness and improvements to our court system over the coming years.
